The Start of Magruder Laser Vision in Orlando

In the Orlando area, the name Magruder is synonymous with quality eye care. Dr. Brock Magruder sees each of his consultations PERSONALLY and giving them his undivided attention, resulting in outstanding surgical results. His goal is to give all patients the one on one, custom care that is lacking in healthcare today. In 1996 Magruder Laser Vision Orlando began when Dr. Magruder decided to devote his practice strictly to refractive surgery.

His was the first center in the United States to own the Autonomous Technologies Tracking Laser in 1999. Dr. Magruder was an FDA clinical investigator in 2001 for the Custom Cornea treatments.
